With 10,000 square feet, Union Market is the largest of the new signings.
The high-end grocery store at 532-542 Union St., adjacent to the rental apartment building, will be the brand’s flagship.
Corto will be an Italian cafe along Nevins Street, next to Spear Physical Therapy.
The 499 President project with 350 rental apartments is part of the Gowanus phenomenon that has seen thousands of new homes built along the canal.
